So I'm having fun with KOF Allstars but the game seems to crash like every 5 minutes for me. I tried clearing my cache and do the bulk download again, and now I keep on getting "Download Failed" even though I'm connected to WiFi.

Do you actually play Cloudia or does it turn in to an autobattler after awhile?

Thundercracker posted:

Faith increases your damage dealt and taken with magic attacks. Brave is the same for melee. Getting to high or low in either will cause that unit to leave your party.

High Brave has no downsides. High Faith gives a warning before they leave and you can lower faith a couple points easily enough. 90-93 Faith is more than enough anyways.

Brave also affects your counter ability's proc rate and effectiveness. Blade Grasp on a 90+ Brave character can make them immune to melee skills that aren't coded to ignore evasion.

Make a Monk with >10 Faith and ~95 Brave. You now have a magic-immune murderbeast. Give it Blade Grasp from Samurai and +3 move from Bard. You now have near-immunity to physical damage and the range to run down most enemies before they get in range to attack you. If the Monk *does* go down you need to revive them with items.

Then get a white mage with math skill, CT/4, 6 speed, the Holy spell, and some eq that boosts Holy damage. You can now OHKO 99% of enemies (and allies) on the first turn of every fight in the game and your low faith monk will survive. Not advisable on any maps where a unit has to survive, obviously.

Is anyone else playing Tom Clancy's Secret Gacha? (https://www.elitesquadgame.com)

Im having fun with it, though I cant see any real reason to spend cash. Its in EA Alpha so it might not be available everywhere. Fights are shoot outs between characters from all the clancy universes, as dudes (and dudettes) gain stars they unlock new abilities and you can upgrade their guns and gear too. Fun to watch.

If anyone else is playing, do we have a guild? I can make one if not.

Most nonogram games run out of Nonograms but I found out about the user-submitted levels so now I'm going to play this until the heat death of the universe

It was a joke about how you can't have a problem being addicted to it because it's so good therefore it must be a level you're stuck on.

If you watch the download it should have a try again countdown whenever it fails. I had to tap that several times when I installed.

I'm replaying the original The Room after beating Original Sins and it honestly is more frustrating than fun. There's way too much pixel hunting instead of letting you get on with puzzle solving. That's barely ok on a monitor let alone a phone.

If you think The Room is bad stay away from the Da Vinci one. It looks nice but its terribad to control and some of the puzzles are just garbage.

Minecraft Earth released for me today, not sure what there is to do though.

It's like pokemon go except you just tap on bushes and rocks to collect material which you can imagine goes into crafting other things. Doesn't look like you can put up anything for other people to come across, but you can build something on your desk using VR which is kind of neat I guess.

I'm only level 2 and some things are level gated it looks like.

Anyone else in on this?

Got my invite to the beta version of xCloud a few days ago! I guess the Console Streaming part of the app is only for people who participated in the Xbox insider program up to a certain level or something.

The xcloud streaming portion of the app has Gears 5, Halo 5, and Sea of Thieves. It plays just like you would expect. It's your Xbox on your phone. The Xbox one S controller syncs perfectly, and it works as it should.

I'm pretty excited for this to get rolled out officially. Anyone else get in, or have the console functionality unlocked?

I don't know if any other goons play Brown Dust, but the android version of their latest update has been delayed since Wednesday, and apparently this is why

About the AOS Release Delay

We’d like to first apologize for the delay happening in the AOS market release which is causing the maintenance to be extended for our Captains who are using the Google Play Store to access our game updates.

When we release a new update for our App, we make use of the feature on Google Play Store called “Timed Publishing” to make sure the updated version is available to our users before the maintenance is over. However, we noticed that this feature was not enabled when we were preparing for this update. We then immediately used the default “Standard Publishing” but the newest version of the App still hasn’t been released on the Play Store as of right now.

We have been using various methods to get in contact with Google to explain our situation to get this issue sorted out as soon as possible. So far, we were only told to wait without further details that could help us estimate when the updated App will be available.

We are aware that many Captains were very excited for the Oct 31st update. Some even waiting for this particular update for past couple of months! The fact that this update was so highly anticipated got us excited to finally be able to bring it over to the Global Regions. We apologize for the disappointment this delay must have caused all of our Captains.
We will make sure notify you through various methods such as push notifications and additional announcements as soon as the App has been updated on the AOS Market.

Lastly, we are planning on providing detailed information regarding the compensation for the inconvenience this delay has caused you as soon as the App is available.

Captains who have been waiting for so long, we are very grateful.

And we are so sorry.

The upsetting thing is like all Gatcha games it has a lot of timed stuff so this delay is kind of borking all the Android users. Though it seems like they are fully aware of this and will be compensating everyone, and also from their social media posts, legit upset they're doing it to their player base.

The thing is, i'm sure there are a lot of players who don't follow it on FB or the subreddit or whatever and are just "this game is dead *uninstall*"

Halfway through Photographs and the game is kinda souring on me. Like, it's just feel bad for feel bads sake, with some of the story beats completely unbelievably. Like the athlete living under a bridge after getting kicked off the college dive team.

This is going to sound weird, but is there something like a (preferably offline) pay-once-to-get-game-only gacha?

I keep bouncing off a lot of the thread recommendations just because it feels like too much work, too fast, and I feel like I never last. Yes, I realise they're designed to be like that to get money off whales. I just like collecting things and seeing pretty art and seeing numbers go up.

Of course, if I have to pay for the game and it's STILL unsustainable cooldown city then...that's not what I'm looking for.

I realise there might not be anything that fits this bill. :(

Maybe not what you are looking for but numbers going up with no cooldowns sounds a lot like Mega Mall Story 2 imo

I think, specifically, it's a 'numbers going up, but no further purchases required or even available' sort of deal. Like a premium gacha or clicker, maybe?

I have no suggestions, sorry. I mean, for just numbers going up, Random Number God isn't bad, and there's progression, but it might not be your thing.
